Sex shop opens side door away from mocking pub drinkers

“As soon as you open that door [to porn shop] it goes ‘ding!’ When that bell goes people in here cheer, so the shop moved the entrance round the side.Most of our customers are builders and you know what they are like.”

“I think the shop just wanted something a bit more discreet. Some people are quite open about the fact they go the shop, but others might want to stay a bit more secretive. So they did the sensible thing in the end. The lads in here are only having a bit of fun but at least this way it saves their blushes.”

The Private Shop now has two doors.

David Brunt, who represents the firm that owns the wank bank, says:

“We use the side door because it’s better than the front door. In the summer when there are people outside, they do tend to make comments about people. It’s ribaldry, it’s light-hearted banter. We try to keep a low profile. People know we’ve been here 20 years. Seventy five per cent come in the side door. It’s to keep things quiet for people.”

The Telegraph then adds:

One 46-year-old customer of the shop, who did not wish to be named said: “It was all a bit of fun, but it was terribly embarrassing. People stopped coming in the end.“
